✅What to Do
Before using a product with this ingredient on your child, test a small patch of normal skin (for example inside the forearm) and wait 24 hours to check for redness or itching. Use only on unbroken, healthy skin, keep products away from eyes and mouth, and stop use if you see redness, swelling, itchiness, or any change in behavior. If a reaction happens or if you are unsure, contact your child’s pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
There is limited evidence of skin irritation or allergic reactions reported by the European Chemicals Agency, so watch for redness, itching, or hives. Environment Canada notes the ingredient is not expected to be toxic, but because data specific to young children is limited, take the patch-test and avoidance steps above. If your child has a history of skin allergies, be extra cautious and consult your pediatrician before use.
